Hey Guys,
Was just wondering if someone had a rough Idea on how much it would be to repair a scratch left by kids on a bike.
I also have...
2 alloys (one with a fairly large scuff and one with a minor scuff)
3 stone chips. One on rear door, one on wing and one on rear bumper (2 of them have been touched up with a touchup pen by myself).
Thanks in advance.

A bit more information would be handy:
Do you require the scuff on the alternative colour wheelarch trim to be repaired?
If you don't have photos, are the wheel scuffs rim, or rim+spokes?
Are you after touching-in (or re touching-in) of the stone chips? Or full repairs? Touch-ins on a metallic should only ever be considered a protective repair, and not a cosmetic one. Full repairs of stone chips generally involves sanding the chip out and repainting the panel, and on doors, often the adjoining panels too. The difference in cost is very significant. On the bumper, a localised repair may be possible, but the work involved is actually very similar for a single chip and a scuff the size of the palm of your hand...

Hi,
it would probally be cheaper to replace the alternative colour wheel arch, so no that wouldnt need to be done.
The alloys can be seen below.

The stone chips at the moment are just a blob (i built up layers with the intention of machine polishing it even, but as I dont own one it never got done :P.

The chips are so small, that an entire panel respay would be massive over kill.
Many thanks
